Hey everyone, just joined and am looking for some info regarding this board. I’m 6’1, 200Lbs, 11.5 boot.
I Started snowboarding last year (I’ve boarded maybe 15 times) and am planning on going a lot this season. I’ve always rented boards and feel like I’ve got the basics down of heel/toe and am able to do small boxes and SMALL jumps. Mainly, I cruise down the local parks Around big bear and Southern California and Occasionally slide over a box or two. Once I get better I MAY attempt a small rail but have no plans of doing more than that.
Off the recommendation of an employee, I purchased the Arbor Westmark camber 159. He said although it’s a “park” board, it’s also good all around board that I can hit the local resorts with and have no problems improving with turns and basic skills. However, I researched after purchasing and it sounds like all the reviews say while it CAN be used for cruising/carving/etc, it’s for big airs, rails and technical tricks....
did I completely make a bad purchase or will I be alright with this board? Thanks for the info.
